First of all, do you know who the man in the grassy knoll was?????
Do you think conspiracy much.....there is no way this could be kept a secert by
pitchers.....this is all regardless of the facts.  Have you seen
any of the last 10 or so home runs.  Some of the balls Mcgwire hit were at his
ankles and he still connected.  Besides there is no way you could convince every
single pitcher to groove one to the big man.  Besides, he would still have to
hit it out of the park.  I've often had pitches right in my favorite spot of
the plate and still hit a grounder, a pop up, etc....  So even though this idea
is "interesting" (well not really), it is truly impossible.

I really had to force myself to send this.  It almost isn't worthy of a reply.
